That first night Lucy wanted to eat every hour. It was a long night.
Monday afternoon I took her to the Dr. office for a check up. Everything looks great and she was weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces. She is very long and lean. Kurt lovingly calls her chicken legs.
We had a great FHE lesson that night. It was more a discussion actually which makes it even cooler. When each of us were sharing a time when we felt the spirit that week they all revolved around Lucy and her arrival. As parents we were able to testify of the sweet spirits they are and their divine nature. And because they love Lucy so innocently and so completely they got it. They understood. I am so grateful for such a choice and precious spirit to come to our family.
We A D O R E this tiny little girl. She is completely wrapped around our hearts. Her siblings have nothing but endless amounts of love for her. They wonder why she has to eat so often because they can't hold her when she's eating!
Austin by far spends the most time with her. He is very loving and simply infactuated with her. It is so good to see his softer more gentle side.
This is where I find him 70% of the time. Next to her cradle watching her.
Rooster has assumed the role as Big Sister like she was made for it. She was coloring one morning and chattering to herself when she announced, "I'm a big sister!" followed by a happy sigh. She turned around and saw me standing there and gave a sheepishly cheesy grin. :)
Notable: Lucy has BLUE eyes AND I have seen traces of a dimple. YAY!!!
We think she's perfect.
